handling env variables like JAVA_HOME, M2_HOME...
How can Fedora work out of the box with apps requiring env variables like JAVA_HOME, M2_HOME ? Today, even though fedora provides java & maven, one still has to manually set these vars. Should Fedora java/maven packages set these (e.g. by files in /etc/profile.d/), while still allowing users to overwrite them in ~/.bash_profile? -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I guess so, but seems better to avoid needing the variables in the first place. It seems that JAVA_HOME is not required, provided you are using the default Fedora package. (At least, that is my impression from a small test I just did.) Rich.
